I'm currently playing the first TR on PC, and I think it's not a really good game this far. It's just decent, and feels really "off".

The second one looks like the first one, so I should also take it for $20 on Steam sales to play it later when I'll have time.

I hated the Tomb Raider reboot.  I've tried to play it twice, on PC and then when it came to PS+, but ended up rage-uninstalling both times.  I know I won't like this game, either, though I am trying to be objective.  It's just not a style of game that I like in more ways than one.  Of course, I didn't like Uncharted, as well, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.

I liked the Uncharted games, but mostly because of the Indiana Jones humoristic feel. TR is just too dramatic with an unbearable Lara and useless characters (some of them die and I couldn't care less about them). It reminds me of DC vs Marvel adaptations, TR takes itself way too seriously with some facepalming events ("Oh, I killed a man, that's awful, I had no choice"......5 minutes later : "That's right bastards, I have a grenade launcher, run, I'LL KILL YOU ALL! "...) . Or it's like a recipe without one key ingredient : you know that what you're eating is supposed to be good, but it's not and it's hard to know why...
